I know everyone always wants to know about scars so I am posting a couple of pix. However, keep in mind that scarring is very subjective and your individual results may vary. Cheers!

It is awful that he did this to me. He was my "doctor" and I trusted him enough to put my life in his hands.

So sorry sweetie. If he won't forget and forgive than you move on. Who knows, maybe he wasn't feeling sure and used that as an excuse not be in the surgery (have you thought about that?) hopefully the senior plastic surgeons will deliver GOOD results. Chin up girl!! You'll be in my prayers :-)

Thank you. I asked my surgeon surely there must be some other reason that the PA does not want to do my surgery. The surgeon said no. It is as simple as that. I need to clarify for you that I was not looking for him to forgive me as I did absolutely nothing wrong. I have a right to know his credentials.

Hmmm! That's a legit question to ask. Yes, it is Patients' right to be able to Ask and get answers. Specially about credentials. You're right about that. To me it's a simple question.

You asked a perfectly legitimate and sensible question! What a strange reaction to get! Is he employed by your surgeon? Because if he were my employee there would be some very strong words about upsetting such a valued client as you. But you know what? Look at what you've achieved, and look at how strong you are, this too shall pass and you'll still be one red hot mama! I love looking at you before and afters, I think the face tickles me the most, you don't even look like you're related to the old you. That must be such a strange but amazing feeling. Keep on keeping on!

Thanks so much, Allie. What Scott did sickens me to the bottom of my stomach and yes he is Dr. Capella's employee. Add to that, Scott is very aware of everything I have been through, all of the things that were so inexcusable that I went through. Knowing that, he then does this to me. It is disgusting. He has absolutely no care and compassion for his patient.

Thank you for your kind words about my face. I do love the work that Dr. Winslow did. She gave me a matured version of the face I had before I became obese. So it doesn't feel strange to me, but rather I feel like I finally look like me again, if that makes sense. I love the face that is looking back at me now in the mirror. I love that person.

Your vitriol and attacking comments are inappropriate and malicious. You do not uphold the standards of the RealSelf community and have been reported. Buh bye...

Hows it going Bar???? I am still, trying to get my eyes right, more work ahead... 1 looks good 1 not UGH!

Hey, it is good to hear from you beautiful lady! Maybe it takes time for your eyes to settle before you see your ultimate results. Or maybe it is that one side of our bodies are different than the other. My left eye looks to be smaller than my right, I think. Maybe it has always been that way. Now we scrutinize our faces (and bodies more).

Isn't that the truth- I needed upper eye s - so he just did the 1 cause bugging- and said will complete uppe eyes later preferably in 6 months the magic month- so thinking change my lower body to late oct as then almost 6 month and can do all :)

I am a big fan of combining surgeries. I waited 6 mos between stage 1 and 2. And I waited a year between 2 and 3.

Do It for the "Holy Sh*t, You Got Hot!"
I am creating a photo gallery on Flickr of my before and after photos --
Before I became obese
After I became obese but before weight loss surgery
After weight loss surgery but before plastic surgery
After plastic surgery
It is a work in progress but lots of photos are up at this point. My wish is to inspire people to defeat obesity and live a life they love! I've attached a few photos from My Bariatric Life on Flickr and you may view my other reviews on RealSelf to see others.
You have within you what it takes to succeed!

!! You are an inspiration!! What does it feel like to go from feeling 'invisible' to the beautiful swan?!! You look "HOT"...
BTW I just saw the photos of your breastlift and they look beautiful. So glad you didn't go with implants ...they really are awful. Even though I have friends who still have them, I see them as looking ridiculous, and they are not good for your body. You will find that within a year your breasts will fluff even more. My boyfriend who is twenty years younger loves my new small soft breasts, he didn't like the cold firm feel of the implants. Take care,
Ana xx
Take care

Thank you very much! I appreciate your very generous comments. Hmmm, what does it feel like?
Can't nothing
Bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
I said (let me tell you now)
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
My level's too high
Bring me down
Can't nothing
Bring me down
I said
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you know what happiness is to you
Because I'm happy
Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do
